BOISE, Idaho — The House has voted along party lines to lower the legal age to 18 to carry a concealed handgun without a permit in Idaho cities.

In 2016, Idaho passed a constitutional carry bill that allows someone 18 or older to, without a permit, conceal-carry firearms anywhere in the state. That came with an exception that 18- to 20-year-olds could not carry a concealed handgun within city limits.
